Full textAbstract:
Abstract Contemporary literature from Mauritius, a heterogeneous multilingual production, is entangled within a complex transnational topology, where several increasingly recognized authors have deployed multiple identities through personal and editorial mobility. They benefit from (and participate in) the diversification of publishing structures, instances of dissemination, and audiences, while others hold very little symbolic capital. This paper discusses several key issues to understand the island’s multifaceted and unequal literary microcosm. It traces certain historical, linguistic and cultural predispositions of the Mauritian text today, addresses the reasons and implications of literary scale-shifting beyond the local, examines the modalities of trans/international recognition, and raises the issues at stake when translating these works. The island is hereby considered as a paradigmatic example of an emerging literary space on the postcolonial “periphery”, both contributing to challenging established canons, while remaining tributary to persisting hierarchies in the global literary system.

Full textAbstract:
The globalization of the economy, increased ethnic diversity, and a greater demand for healthy and more diverse food production has increased the demand for tropical fruits. There is a lack of formal experimentation to determine yield performance and fruit quality traits of lychee (Litchi chinensis) cultivars. Six lychee cultivars (Bosworth-3, Brewster, Groff, Mauritius, Kaimana, Salathiel) grown on Mollisol and Inceptisol soils were evaluated for 8 years at the Adjuntas Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR-Adjuntas) and La Balear farm, Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, respectively. At UPR-Adjuntas and La Balear, cultivar Groff had a significantly higher production (257,296 fruit/ha) of total fruit than other cultivars, whereas Salathiel had the lowest. However, total fruit production of ‘Groff’ was not significantly different from ‘Kaimana’ and ‘Bosworth-3’at La Balear. At UPR-Adjuntas, cultivars Groff and Bosworth-3 had significantly higher number of marketable fruit than the rest of the cultivars averaging 171,760 fruit/ha. At La Balear, ‘Kaimana’ had a higher number of marketable fruit, but it was not significantly different from ‘Groff’, ‘Bosworth-3’, and ‘Mauritius’, averaging 291,360 fruit/ha. At both sites, individual fruit weight of marketable fruit was higher in ‘Kaimana’ than the rest of the cultivars. However, at La Balear, there were no significant differences between ‘Kaimana’ and ‘Mauritius’. At both locations, cultivars exhibited erratic production patterns, which were characterized by lower production during 1 or 2 successive years following heavy cropping. At current farm gate prices and fruit yield reported in this study, cultivars Groff, Bosworth-3, and Kaimana can generate a good income for growers, and allow them to diversify crops as part of their farm operations.

Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV), a damaging viral pathogen of onion, was reported for the first time on onion in Mauritius in 2008. A survey was undertaken from 2008 to 2010 to determine the status of the virus in the major onion-growing localities. The disease was found to be prevalent in the east, southeast, south and west of the island in bulb and seed production stands. The high incidence of IYSV in onion fields in Mauritius shows the need for developing integrated management strategies to reduce its negative impact. Accepted for publication 26 July 2012.

Full textAbstract:
Mauritius' position within the global division of labour has changed considerably since the country gained its independence from Britain in 1968. This reflects change in the country's employment structure and a re-articulation within global chains of production. In a transformation led by the state, the formerly plantation-based economy has become a predominantly service- and manufacturing-based one. Mauritius has since set its sights on becoming a ‘cyber-island’, a regional hub for computer-based service provision. In charting this developmental route, the Mauritian state has had recourse to favourable socio-historical conditions. By highlighting these cultural influences on the globalisation of the Mauritian economy, this study affirms the value of analysing new divisions of labour as an aspect of the centuries-old process of globalisation.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to delve into an extensive analysis of different food crops, ranging from bananas, beans, brinjals, cabbages, chillies, creepers, groundnuts, mixed vegetables, pineapples and tomatoes, over three decades. To maintain an ever-increasing population level, much stress is exerted on the production of food crops. However, till date, very little is known about how climate change is influencing the production of food crops in Mauritius, an upper-income developing country found in the Indian Ocean and highly vulnerable to climate risks. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the interactions between production of crops, harvest area for crops and weather metrics, a vector autoregressive model (VAR) system is applied comprising production of each crop with their respective harvest area. Weather metrics are then entered into as exogeneous components of the model. The underlying rationale is that weather metrics are not caused by production or harvest area and should thereby be exogeneously treated. Should there be cointegration between the endogenous components, the vector error correction model (VECM) will be used. Diagnostic tests will also be entertained in terms of ensuring the endogeneity states of the presumed variables under investigation. The impact of harvest area on product is plain, as higher the harvest area, the higher is the production. However, a bi-directional causality can also manifest in the case that higher production leads towards lower harvest area in the next period as land is being made to rest to restore its nutrients to enable stable land productivity over time. Other dynamics could also be present. In case cointegration prevails, VECM will be used as the econometric model. The VAR/VECM approach is applied by virtue of the fact that traditional ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation approach will be biased and susceptible to trigger off unreliable results. Recourse is made towards the Johansen and Juselius (1990) technique. The Johansen and Juselius approach is based on the following VAR specification-bivariate VAR methodology. X1,t = A0 + A1,1X1,t – 1 + A1,2X1,t – 2+ […] .+ A1,p X1,t – p + A2,1X2,t – 1 + A2,2X2,t – 2+ […] .+ A2,pX2,t – p + ßjW + e1,t […] […]..(1) X2,t = B0 + B2,1X2,t – 1 + B2,2X2,t – 2+ […] .+ B2,p X2,t – p + B1,1X1,t – 1 + B1,2X2,t – 2+ […] .+ B1,pX2,t – p + ajW + e2,t […] […] […](2) X1,t is defined as the food crops production, while X2,t pertains to harvest area under cultivation for a given crop under consideration, both constituting the endogeneous components of the VAR. The exogeneous component is captured by W which consists of the nine aforementioned weather metrics, including the cyclone dummy. The subscript j under equation (1) and (2) captures these nine distinct weather metrics. In essence, the aim of this paper is to develop an econometric-based approach to sieve out the impacts of climate metrics on food crops production in Mauritius over three decades. Findings – Results show weather metrics do influence the production of crops in Mauritius, with cyclone being particularly harmful for tomatoes, chillies and creepers. Temperature is found to trail behind bearish impacts on tomatoes and cabbages production, but positive impacts in case of bananas, brinjals and pineapples productions, whereas humidity enhances production of beans, creepers and groundnuts. Evidence is found in favour of production being mainly governed by harvest area. Overall, the study points out the need of weather derivatives in view of hedging against crop damages, let alone initiation of adaptation strategies to undermine the adverse effects of climate change. Originality/value – To the best of the author’s knowledge, no study has been undertaken in Mauritius, let alone developing of an econometric model that properly integrates production, harvest area and weather metrics. Results show weather metrics do influence the production of crops in Mauritius, with cyclone being particularly harmful for tomatoes, chillies and creepers. Temperature is found to trail behind bearish impacts on tomatoes and cabbages production, but positive impacts in case of bananas, brinjals and pineapples productions, whereas humidity enhances production of beans, creepers and groundnuts. Evidence is found in favour of production being mainly governed by harvest area. Overall, the study points out the need of weather derivatives in view of hedging against crop damages, let alone initiation of adaptation strategies to undermine the adverse effects of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of modern retellings of the Arthurian story, from Tennyson's Idylls of the King (1842-1891) to T.H. White's The Once and Future King (1938-1958). It has three main aims. First, while primarily a literary history, it attempts to form an integrated narrative of the modern Arthurian legend through the study of creative literature, scholarship, historiography, visual art, journalism and popular culture. Second, unlike earlier Anglo-American accounts of modern Arthuriana, this thesis concentrates exclusively on British literature, including previously-ignored retellings of the legend by Scottish, Irish, Welsh and Cornish writers and emphasises the influence of Celtic writing on contemporary English literature. Third, this thesis attempts to demonstrate how post-Tennysonian English literature is fundamentally different from earlier manifestations of the legend. The medieval and Victorian traditions, this study argues, were characterised by a series of literary revolutions, beginning with the creation of a paradigmatic text (Geoffrey's Historia, Malory's Morte Darthur, Tennyson's Idylls), which served the ideological needs of elite social groups. After the creation of such texts there followed lengthy periods of stable literary production which essentially reproduced and expanded the ideological franchise of the paradigm. Yet at certain points, due to major social and economic transition, the Arthurian paradigm no longer functioned effectively in its paradigmatic mould and underwent a period of crisis - only to emerge in a new paradigmatic formation. Yet the modern, post-Tennysonian tradition has not conformed to this hegemonic structure. In the absence of a paradigm, Arthurian literature since the 1920s has been characterised by a series of diverse and contradictory trends. Some of these have been nationalist in orientation, while others have developed directly out of scholarly approaches. Politically, they have been informed by a range of ideologies, from conservatism to feminism and from anarchism to clerical fascism. This thesis examines the causes of the breakdown of the paradigmatic structure in twentieth-century Arthurian literature, while chronicling the significance of the trends that developed in its place - shaping the Arthurian story into a much more British political narrative. Yet with the current breakdown in the conception of Britain as a political unit, the Arthurian story seems ready for another major shift in form and significance.

A presente dissertação resulta de nossa pesquisa de mestrado, na qual estudamos a disciplina Leitura e Produção de Texto (LPT), que compôs, de 2009 a 2011, a grade curricular do segundo ciclo do ensino fundamental (5ª à 8ª série/6º ao 9º ano) nas escolas estaduais paulistas. Ministrada por professores licenciados em Letras mediante duas aulas semanais, sua proposta, segundo documentos governamentais, era a formação do leitor literário. Além de LPT, abordamos projetos da Secretaria Estadual da Educação (SEE) dos últimos dez anos (2004-2013) focados na leitura literária. Apresentamos um histórico da disciplina, buscando compreender por que LPT teve uma duração efêmera, característica que se repete em outros projetos, como o Tecendo Leituras e a Hora da Leitura. Para realizar isso, fizemos um levantamento dos documentos oficiais relativos à LPT e aos demais projetos e realizamos duas entrevistas semicompreensivas (KAUFMANN,1996), a primeira com dois autores do Caderno do professor de Leitura e Produção de Texto (SÃO PAULO, 2013) e a segunda com um membro da equipe curricular de Língua Portuguesa da SEE. Posteriormente, procedemos à descrição, análise e interpretação dos documentos-fonte, nos moldes propostos por Soares (1996), e à identificação dos pontos em comum e discrepâncias entre as duas entrevistas, recortando temas para responder às questões que nos mobilizaram. Com relação ao referencial teórico, valemo-nos das contribuições do campo da história das disciplinas escolares (CHERVEL, 1990; JULIA, 2001; GOODSON, 2008 e 2010), das pesquisas da área de linguagem e educação e de ensino de língua materna (GERALDI, 2002; SOARES, 1999; DE PIETRI, 2007 e 2010) e das pesquisas sobre ensino de literatura e de leitura literária (ROUXEL, LANGLADE e REZENDE, 2012; JOUVE, 2004).The present essay results from our masters degree research, in which we have studied the discipline Reading and Text Production (RTP LPT in Portuguese), that from 2009 to 2011 composed the curricular grade of the basic education second cycle (5th to 8th Brazilian grade/ actual 6th to 9th Year) in the Sao Paulo State public schools grade. Taught by Letters licensed teachers through two days a week classes, its purpose, according to governmental documents, was the formation of the literary reader. Besides the RTP, we approached projects of the State Secretary of Education (SSE SEE in Portuguese) from the past ten years (2004 2013) focused on literary reading. We have initiated with a history of the discipline, seeking to comprehend why the RTP had such a short duration, characteristic that is repeated in other projects, such as Weaving Readings (In Portuguese: Tecendo Leituras) and Reading Hour (In Portuguese: Hora da Leitura). To do so, we have conducted a survey on the official documents related to the RTP and further projects and made two semi-comprehensive interviews (KAUFMANN, 1996); the first one with two authors from the Teachers book of Reading and Text Production/ Caderno do professor de Leitura e Produção de Texto (SÃO PAULO, 2013); the second with a member of the Portuguese Language curricular team from the SSE. After that, we have made the description, analysis and interpretation of the source documents, in the molds proposed by Soares (1996) and the identification of the commonalities and discrepancies between the two interviews, creating themes to answer the questions that mobilize us. In relation to the theoretical references, we have made use of the contributions from the historical field of the scholar disciplines (CHERVEL, 1990; JULIA, 2001; GOODSON, 2008 and 2010); of researches from the Educational and Language field and of native language teaching (GERALDI, 2002; SOARES, 1999; DE PIETRI, 2007 and 2010); and of researches regarding the literature teaching and literature reading (ROUXEL, LANGLADE e REZENDE, 2012; JOUVE, 2004).

In the 1980s, many cultural elites consented to the view- point that "literary commodification" phenomenon was very pre- valent. This phenomenon was often discussed, but the "literary commodification" concept was seldom clarified. The main purpose of this thesis is to explore the following questions: (1) What is "literary commodification"? Why does the phenomenon take place? When did the phenomenon originate in Taiwan? (2) Is serious/popular literature commodified? In order to answer questions mentioned above, this research is divided into two parts and each tries to answer one of those questions. The first part includes the theoretical exploration and historical empirical research of the "literary commodifi- cation" concept. The second studies the production and distri- bution of publishing firms of serious/popular literature. The important results of this thesis are as follows: "Literary commodification", simply speaking, is that literature becomes a profitable tool controlled by capitalists. Literary works are measured by exchange value, not aesthetic value. Cultural works are gradually like industrial products. Capital -ists accumulate wealth by producing and exchanging those cultural products continuously. When capitalist economical development is getting mature in Taiwan, "literary commodifi- cation" phenomenon is getting prevalent. In the 1970s, "liter- ary commodification" phenomenon took place only in literary translation field. After the 1980s, there are more and more market-oriented works designed by publishing firms. The authors of those works must conform to publishing firms'' requirements. Under these circumstances, artists'' autonomy is infringed seri- ously. "Literary commodification" phenomenon is getting worse in the 1990s. The results of the second part indicates that " literary commodification" mainly happens in popular literature field. In the 1990s, Taiwan has become a consumer society in which commodification will be an inevitable tendency. "Literary co- mmodification" may make literary works more homogeneous in the book market, so how to establish other literary communication chaanel except market will be an urgent issue.

in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts."Why do women read the romance?" cannot be answered by Anglo-American feminist literary criticism; a critique is brought against feminist definitions of gender and genre, and the question, "Why did women begin to write (novels)?" Gender definition and genre formation are integrally interrelated in the modern period; this can be traced through textual analyses of textual practices in early nineteenth century texts. Analyses of Wuthering Heights, Emma, and Madame Bovary enable critique to be brought against tenets central to feminist criticism: the figure and function of the female author; the definitions of gender, desire and sexuality; the social and the sexual contracts; and the role of Oedipus in feminist-psychoanalytical debates. Moi's Sexual/Textual Politics provides a. critique of feminism, Armstrong's Desire and Domestic Fiction a feminist history of the novel, and Radway's Reading the Romance a feminist account of romance fiction.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the translations beyond official publishers during the era of Communism in Czechoslovakia from 1948 to 1989. More particularly, the thesis is focused on mapping Czech translations of German literature published in samisdat during the Communist era and on understanding a sociology of translation in the samisdat production. Taking into account the social changes and cultural politics, the author explores when, by whom, in what circumstances and for what reason were the German texts translated. Furthermore, the aim of this thesis is to determine whether the translation work in samisdat was coordinated, and if so, to find out by whom. Another aim is to find out whether there was a publishing strategy during the samisdat translations. A method of oral history is used in order to interview the contemporary witnesses. Findings based on these interviews are later grouped into a force field using Pierre Bourdieu's sociological model. The conclusion consists of findings about the process of translating German literature to Czech during the samisdat era. These data are then evaluated and analysed from several points of view.

This volume brings together a selection of essays on Claudio Magris’ work, aiming to enrich critical debate with a specific focus on interdisciplinary dimension and continuous dialogue with the main European literary traditions. The outcome is an overall study on Magris’ narrative, essayistic and theatrical production, trying to fix his plural and prismatic identity: from the narration of places to an unavoidable ideological tension; from philosophical alphabets to the weight of History; from Myth’s remediation to the abroad reception; from hypotext filigree to real case studies. According to a diachronic perspective, they focus attention on Magris’ works, such as Microcosmi, Alla cieca, Non luogo a procedere and Tempo curvo a Krems.

Abstract The events unfolding in Syria since spring 2011 have led to a thorough transformation of the intellectual and artistic space in which Syrian authors, filmmakers, and artists move. Starting from an overview of the connections of institutions, artists, and works that form this contemporary space of cultural production, this chapter goes on to consider the problems existing theoretical conceptions of such spaces from the sociology of arts encounter when faced with the empirical realities of the Syrian case. It shows that the transnational, unstable, and often transient nature of these formations and their links with large-scale socio-political changes, such as wars, are difficult to grasp with conceptual toolkit developed on the model of the unusually stable spaces of production of Western Europe and the US.

This essay examines the evolution of my twenty-year interest in the work of Italian nineteenth-century woman writer Neera (pseudonym for Anna Radius Zuccari), an interest that has culminated with the recent publication Nineteenth-Century Italian Women Writers and the Woman Question: The Case of Neera (2021). My attention to this writer has shifted from an initial exploration of the various characteristics of her production to what I now view as the principal lens for interpreting Neera’s role and work: positioning her inside a matrilineal family tree within the Italian literary landscape, one that recognizes the importance of her legacy as literary mother to the numerous Italian women writers that followed. My essay considers Neera’s significance today from this perspective while also reflecting upon evolving critical trends within Italianistica.

AbstractThis article focuses on memoirs that grapple with how to resolve tensions between ‘work,’ labor performed for a wage or salary, and ‘the Work,’ a creative pursuit performed for reasons beyond material necessity. Dorothea Brande’s Becoming a Writer (1934) and Wake up and Live! (1936), like many self-help publications of their kind, position writing and other creative pursuits as acts of living that stand in opposition to the necessity of making a living. Recently, however, a number of publications on “the writing life” have begun to complicate this opposition. When considering works ranging from Annie Dillard’s 1989 The Writing Life to Deborah Levy’s Things I Don’t Want to Know (2013) and The Cost of Living (2018) and Alexander Chee’s How to Write and Autobiographical Novel (2018), it seems that the dichotomy of work vs. writing life is not simply undergoing demystification but also reconceptualization. These contemporary literary-advice memoirs thematize dissolutions between work, personal, and writing lives, thereby also disrupting generic patterns in issuing literary advice. They push the literary advice genre away from technicalities and visions of artistic autonomy and toward accounts of creative production that is subject to the demands placed on creative workers throughout the white-collar labor market of late capitalism.

Full textAbstract:
Lucan was one of the most widely read and studied classical authors during the Middle Ages, a reference point for teaching, historiography and literature. The essay attempts to outline Giovanni Boccaccio’s profile as a reader of Pharsalia in the different ages of his literary production and in his critical judgment, placing him in the context of fourteenth-century reception. The different ways of reading Lucan’s masterpiece, from the almost literal imitation of some scenes in the Filocolo, to the punctual references to situations, images and characters in the works of maturity, testifies the inexhaustible attention of Boccaccio towards the poet of «plus quam civilia bella».

Full textAbstract:
Videogames have become a technological application that goes beyond entertainment; their participation in sociocultural processes is much more interesting and profitable than we might think. They have evolved from their original mission of entertainment to other fields such as social, cultural, medical, and other categories that fall into serious games.In the beginning they were developed by programmers and companies that began to emerge to meet the demand of new players. Now we know that consumers of this type of media have many requirements that have made their production involves a multidisciplinary team, among these requirements we can highlight the need to live the story at every moment.Videogames are present in our society, playing them is only one of the shores of this great sea, on the other side, there is an emerging-producing world that directs its work to various areas of human development. In the career of Graphic Design at Indoamerica University, students generate videogames based on the contents they receive, however, there has not been a deep emphasis on the narrative during the design process of these. For this reason, it is intended to identify a model that allows relating literary, graphic and videogame narratives, to involve narrative design within the creative process. Based on classroom experiences of the last five years, the academic work and the result of the products delivered by the students, an analysis was made that determined that the story is present but is not immersed in each of the elements that can be seen from the gameplay. Based on this, bibliographic research was made about literary narrative and its relationship with the narrative design for the video game, considering the significant contributions of Clara Fernández, Adrián Suárez, Jesse Schell, Alckmar dos Santos, Scott Rogers, Oliver Pérez, among others. This work presents a model of the relationship between literary, graphic, and video game narratives aimed at building the narrative design in new video games, on the other hand, to analyze these narratives in a current video game and tune it.We intend to automate this model in a video game prototype, in which the students participate, and then make use of it in the narrative design of new projects.

Full textAbstract:
The paper focuses on the interlacement of literary and iconographic elements by displaying an innovatory philological and stylistic approach, from a comparative perspective, in thematizing multilingual translational and adaptive aspects, ranging across Bernard Berenson's diaristic and epistolary corpus, in conjunction with his works on Italian visual culture. This interweaving gives occasion to the elaboration of multilinguistic textual influences and their verbo-visual artistic representations deduced from his innovative interpretative readings in the domain of world literature in modern times. Such analysis of the discourse of theoretical and literary nature, and of the pictoricity, refers to Bernard Berenson's multilingual considerations about canonical authors in English, Italian, French, German language, belonging to the Neoclassical and Romantic period, as well as to the contemporary era, as conceptualized in his autobiographical works, in correlation with his writings on Italian figurative art. The scope of this presentation is to discern and articulate Berenson's aesthetic ideas evoking literary and artistic modernity, that are infused with crucial notions of translational theory and conveyed through the methodology of close reading and comprising at the same time, in an omnicomprehensive manner, a plurality of tendencies intrinsic to social paradigms of cultural studies. Unexplored premises reflecting Berenson's vision of Italian culture, most notably of a visual stamp, will be analyzed through author's understandings of such adaptive translations or volumes to be subsequently translated in Italian, and through their intertwined intertextual applications, significantly contributing to further critical and hermeneutic reception thereof. Particular attention is drawn to its instancing in the field of Romantic literary production (Emerson, Byron), originally underscoring the specificities of each literary genre and expressive mode, of the narrative, lyric or theatrical nature, as well as concomitantly involving parallel notions as adapted variants within visual arts, and in such a way expressing theoretical views pertainable to Italian artworks too. Other analogous elements relevant to literary expression in the most varied cultural sectors such as philosophy, music, civilisational history (Goethe, Hegel, Kant, Wagner, Chateaubriand, Rousseau, Mme de Staël, Taine) are furnished, as well as the examples of the resonances of non-western cultures, with the objective of exploring the effect among readership bringing also to the renewal of Italian tradition.

Full textAbstract:
Renewable Energy has a crucial interest for a remote area like Reunion Island. The supply of electricity based on renewable energy has many advantages but the major drawback is the production of electricity which varies highly according to the availability of the resource (wind, solar, wave, etc...). This causes a real problem for non interconnected electrical grid where intermittent renewable energies should be limited to a maximum of 30%. The ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) provides an alternative of electricity production from the available energy of the oceans present all the time. By using surface hot water and deep cold water from the ocean, it is possible to operate a thermodynamics cycle, which will then generate electricity. In this article, in the first part a literary and technological review is carried out in two areas: electricity production and cooling of buildings with deep water. This study establishes a knowledge base on thermodynamic cycles consistent with the OTEC and on dimensional and functional parameters associated with this technology. Steady state simulations are presented to understand the operation of the system. Steady state models will evaluate the potential of the OTEC in distributing base electricity. These simulations will help evaluating the potential for new thermodynamic cycles such as the Kalina cycle. With these tools, a sensitivity study will evaluate the influence of different parameters on the cycle.

Full textAbstract:
The Slovak Romantic Messianism is perceived by us as a phenomenon growing from a specific current epochal situation relating to a relatively rich tradition, which existed in the Slovak cultural context already in previous historical periods. By considering the characteristic features of production, its existence was often relativised. Nevertheless, it represents an important testimony of a concrete epoch. Its artistic implementation (perhaps today more than in the past) is being well appreciated, thanks to its interesting form and to its expressive and narrative strength or value. By focusing our attention on its expressive and thematic means, it is possible to prove that the authors tried to mediate a mystical experience to the readers. As mystagogues, they introduced and initiated the readers to the mysteries of God’s plans aiming at transformation of this world. In this sense, through their literary production, they invoked and prayed God to give them a chance to live a direct mystic experience in the reality. By pursuing this purpose, they filled their poetry with curious archaisms and neologisms (the so-called self-creation of language). They gave way to a speculative etymologism and poetical forms. Generally, they were syncretically stylying poetical shapes. And they often exploited experiments or complex strophic structures.

Full textAbstract:
The issue of ineffective usage of household is investigated, considering the lack of financial resources for the development of internal production in Kyrgyz Republic. The dynamic of households in the country is shown. Also the substantiation of author’s definition of investigated category is provided. In order to understand the essence of issue, there is a grouping of households in a form of scheme is shown. The research of grouping signs allowed basing the allotment of investment funds. Savings play a dual role in the reproduction process of the country. On the one hand, as the withdrawal of funds from the stream of income, savings cause lack in consumption; constraining supply growth, that is an expansion of production. On the other hand, if the savings are mobilized by the financial and credit system, and sent into the real economic sector, for an increase of the accumulation fund and expanding of production, they are favorable to economic growth and increase in GDP. Clearly shows the correlation between GDP growth and the dynamics of household savings to Kyrgyz Republic. Materials for this research were literary sources and statistical data. Solving an issue of under-investment is possible due to household savings, which occupy a special place in a number of economic phenomena, because they are at the crossroads of the interests of citizens, organizations, specializing in financial services, and the state. Their involvement depends primarily on the activity of the institutions, accumulating these savings.

In ASME 2006 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference. ASMEDC, 2006. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/detc2006-99529.
Full textAbstract:
Lean has become a “must-use” philosophy for businesses today. Lean manufacturing focuses on the elimination of waste in manufacturing operations. Similarly, companies have started using lean engineering to eliminate wastes from their engineering processes. Both lean manufacturing and lean engineering yield dramatic improvements in quality, cost, and delivery. However, the philosophy of lean (manufacturing and engineering) revolves around the continuous improvement of existing processes. Costs associated with continuous improvement can be significantly reduced by incorporating “lean” considerations when designing a product, process, or manufacturing system. This is known as design for lean manufacturing (DfLM). DfLM guides the design of a product, process, or a manufacturing system to enable lean operations when in production, just as design for assembly (DFA) guides the design of a product to allow easier assembly during production. Currently, there are no guidelines that would help a product or process designer in considering to lean operations during design. Note that usage of the word “product” in this paper must be interpreted in a literary sense and not as a “widget.” The “product” of a manufacturing engineering process is a complete manufacturing system. In this paper, we consider manufacturing system design and propose a novel set of structured DfLM guidelines for designing a manufacturing system. These guidelines will be a valuable resource for manufacturing engineers to guide manufacturing system design for new products to enable lean operations once the system is in production. DfLM guidelines for system design also will help plant engineers and rapid continuous improvement managers to assess existing manufacturing systems and identify and prioritize improvement efforts. The proposed DfLM guidelines are then validated for accuracy, completeness, and redundancy by using them to evaluate an existing benchmark manufacturing system. The initial DfLM guidelines show promise for use in designing manufacturing systems that are easy to manage, flexible, safe, build quality into the products, optimize material flow, fully utilize all resources, maximize throughput, and continuously produce what the customer wants just in time. Similar guidelines can be proposed for product and process design to further enhance the efficiency of operations and reduce the overhead of continuous improvement efforts.

SOME QUESTIONS OF LABORATORY CONTROL." In XIth International Congress on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. Schattauer GmbH, 1987. http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0038-1643268.
Full textAbstract:
Thromboembolism in patients with prosthetic heart valves remains a major time-related problem (Sullivan 1971, Dale 1976, Chesebro 1983). Patients receiving anticoagulant plus antiplatelet agent have the lowest incidence of thromboembolism but the risk of bleeding is not negligible. The laboratory control of combined therapy is unsolved.This study considers the thromboembolic prophylaxis of 38 patients with prosthetic heart valve. Cou-marol treatment was combined with ASA (1 000 mg/week, 36 months follow up).Prothrombin ratio was used in control of the oral anticoagulant therapy. Malondialdehyde production was measured parallel with the so-called malondialdehyde-ratio (MDA-ratio = malondialdehyde level of patient/ control plasma). MDA-ratio, platelet aggregation, thromboxane and prostacycline metabolites were studied 48 hours after 500 mg ASA intake. The average of MDA-ratio was 0.42 ± 0.23 (from 137 measurements). The therapeutic range of MDA-ratio is 0.7 - 0.2. Value below 0.2 means overdosed, over 0.7 means an ineffective ASA therapy. Normal first and second phase platelet aggregation was observed in 23 % of cases when MDA-ratio was below 0.5. Only in 4 % of patients with MDA-ratio over 0.7 was found an abnormal platelet aggregation. The mean prothrombin ratio was 1.59 ± 0.22.No gastrointestinal bleeding or thromboembolism was observed during the 36 months follow up. Contrary to the literary data (Chesebro 1983) coumarol plus small dose ASA did not result excessive bleeding and can be suggested for patients with prosthetic heart valve. Examination of both the prothrombin and the malondialdehyde ratio with study of platelet aggregation is recommended as laboratory control.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: Access to books and literature is, above all, a human right. The acts of reading, creating, and fictionalizing are in themselves, acts of power. Accordingly, literature is a well-respected necessity in society; therefore, a universal human need. Thus, denying women the right to literature is also a form of violation. In this presentation, the author aims to reflect not only on literature by female authors but also its importance in the process of constructing women's subjectivity and identity, whether in reading fiction or in its production. To reflect on women's right to read and write literature, as well as their way of expressing their perception, anxieties, and ways of understanding the world, this presentation proposes a literary analysis of texts by the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. Her works evidence the potential of bringing light to the processes of self-knowledge and freedom. These processes can be ignited because these texts can trigger the process of self-awareness and can then generate female empowerment. By reading Clarice Lispector's writing, it remains clear that she reveals human dramas specific to the female universe, as she opens up possibilities for readers to know themselves as women and to project themselves as producers of literature. It would seem that these realities are founded worlds and realities apart from those that dominated male perceptions during the 1950s to 1970s when she was writing; however, many of those predominant male perceptions prevail in today’s contemporary society. Keywords: Women's Writing; Reception; Self knowledge; Clarice Lispector; Empowerment.

Full textAbstract:
The capitalist system maintains the colonial logic in the dialogue between knowledge and ways of life. The accumulation of material wealth, individualism, production of goods and exacerbated consumption have resulted in imbalance, physical and symbolic exhaustion of the planet. The field of arts does not constitute an autonomous system in relation to culture, to the aforementioned cultural modes. In it, the processes of formation of subjects, exclusion and discrimination also result from neoliberalism, which imposes a Promethean education linked to the notion of civility and progress, causing malnutrition of feeling, sensitivity, and imagination. The poetic state is relegated to the background and restricted to literary expression. Artistic practices are inserted in the truth regimes of the hegemonic models that produce them. Building other pedagogies requires thinking about ways to deviate from the totalizing ontologies of the so-called traditional educational thought. The impact of (hegemonic) european theoretical constructions on classroom relationships needs to be considered, as well as racism and the absence of women in the epistemic field. It is in this context that initiatives to rethink the dichotomy between reason and imagination present in westernized culture gain importance. Imagination is an important factor of psychosocial balance, it is through imagination that the whole process of symbolization, signification and de-alienation of human thought takes place. Based on the notion that the imaginary and rationality are not antagonistic psychic spheres, the Pedagogy of the Imaginary proposes the reunion of rational and poetic forms of culture based on the revaluation of the imaginative function and reflection on the purpose and meaning we have given to life and education. This without resorting to a set of teaching techniques or strategies, much less taking the Pedagogy of Imaginary as a discipline whose content deals with the imagination or creativity. This study began with the completion of the discipline Pedagogy of the Imaginary in Visual Arts (2020.2/ UFPE), where the participation of students provided insights into the need to identify forms of resistance to hegemonic cultural modes, in addition to motivating us to think about a Pedagogy of the Imaginary for the Artistic Education. Some questions remain: 1) How can the knowledge about art/ life of students undergoing training in the field of teaching/ learning arts be articulated with studies on decoloniality and the Imaginary?; 2) How can the Pedagogy of the Imaginary be conceived for the field of Artistic Education and how can it be plotted with the debate on decoloniality?; 3) How do undergraduate art students think about the possibilities of deviation within their teacher training and internship practices? The doctoral project “Libertarian artistic education. A counter-pedagogy?” which began its second year in October 2021, at FBAUP, intends to continue this debate.
